La Folie


Wow....  that's all I can say.  I had an amazing meal with 5 friends at La Folie recently. 
So much food I can hardly remember it all.  I will instead give you the high-lights of the night. 

1. Foie Gras - I had heard Passot's foie preparations were unreal.  They are amazing... almost too big.  I had seared foie gras with roasted peaches and peach consomme.  It was amazing, but oh-so-rich. 

2. Warm Pig's Feet and Lobster Terrine on lentil Salad -  Talk about technique, this guy showed his master chef ability with a flawless terrine and interesting concept.  I was excited  to try it and not let down at all. 

3. Fondant - Not just any-ole-fondant but chocolate fondant with ice cream on the INSIDE of it!  I was baffled. . . and still am actually.  It was delicious.

I will be going back there as soon as my wallet is heavy enough, unfortunately at aroun $160 dollars per person it might be a while.
